Introduction to Belly Full of Yoga

Welcome to this short 5-part Introduction to Belly Full of Yoga; giving information on some of the core concepts of the website. It will contain short videos where I discuss the topics followed by a short experiential practice. There will also be a short summary written up underneath the video.

The series is structured as follows:

• EPISODE 1: THE MIND

  • Information about the workings of the mind, especially what makes us unhappy and mindfulness practices that can help us feel more connected and joyful

• EPISODE 2: THE BODY

  • Information about anatomy, movement, how habits and stress can negatively impact our posture, conscious breathing and how movement practices to improve posture

• EPISODE 3: SOMATICS

  • Information about Somatic Exercises; what is Somatics and its origins. How to create awareness of your posture and how Somatics reprograms the brain and releases tension from the body to correct postural issues.

• EPISODE 4: YOGA

  • Information on Yoga and how it is more than a physical practice; using conscious breathing and focussed, mindful movement is the path to inner peace.

• EPISODE 5: INSIGHTS

  • Information on Yogic philosophy, Zen mind-training, mindfulness, and a reference to books which have taught me about body, mind and spirit.

I hope you’ll find it inspiring.
